Help with usb loader gx?

Question

Do I need to put my wii games in a folder on my fat32 external hhd for the loader to recognize them?

Answer 1

Games need to be stored at USB:\WBFS\



The generally acceptable folder structure is...



USB:\WBFS\ - \.wbfs (or .wbf1, ect. for split images)



But the minimally acceptable structure is...



USB:\WBFS\.wbfs (or .wbf1, ect. for split images)





I will note that FAT32 HDD will require you to split your disc images that are 4 GB's or larger into smaller sub-4 GB chunks as FAT32 can't handle any file larger than 4 GB's. NTFS formatted drives (which are also supported) can support disc images larger than 4 GB's



If you use the disc ripper utility built into USB Loader GX, the software will automatically default to the prefer folder structure when copying your game discs.



Hope this helps!

Answer 2

I'm using USB Loader GX.



"wbfs" folder should be on the root directory and NOT in capital letters.

Then you can choose between two different layouts in settings.



Layout 1:

usb:/wbfs/TITLE[GAMEID]/GAMEID.wbfs



Inside wbfs directory add a folder with the game title and then inside [ ] add the id.

The wbfs file should be named after its game id.



ex : /wbfs/Super Mario Galaxy [8FC124]/8FC124.wbfs



Layout 2:

usb:/wbfs/GAMEID_TITLE/GAMEID.wbfs



Inside wbfs add a folder which starts with the game id then enter _ and then the title

As before the wbfs file should be named after its game id.



ex : /wbfs/8FC124_SuperMarioGalaxy/8FC124.wbfs
